Practising Responsible Business

Standout among green Bucharest hotels

Taking responsibility for the environment and local community has been an important part of the broader commitment of the Radisson Hotel Group to sustainable development for many years. In 2001, this commitment was fortified and placed within the scope of a programme called Responsible Business (RB). Each hotel has a unique RB Action Plan covering areas such as community outreach, environmental improvement, employee well-being, and health and safety.

As part of the Carlson Hotels and the Rezidor Hotel Group family of brands, Park Inn by Radisson® has a strong track record of taking its people, communities and the environment into account in its business decisions. All Park Inn employees receive Responsible Business training, and each Park Inn hotel has a unique Responsible Business Action Plan that includes the health and well-being of guests and employees, resource efficiency relating to energy, water and waste, community outreach and charity.

Carlson Hotels and Rezidor were among the first hotel groups to sign the United Nations Global Compact and in early 2010, Rezidor was named as one of the 'World’s Most Ethical Companies' by the Ethisphere Institute, while Carlson was recognized at the Ethical Corporation's Responsible Business Awards 2010 event. Together with the UN Tourism Child Protection Code of Conduct, Carlson won the Best Collaboration Award for work on protecting children’s rights from exploitation in travel and tourism. Park Inn’s efforts in the area of corporate social responsibility have been externally verified, with many hotels having achieved third-party eco-certifications.
